You _don't_ know so you assume they aren't.

Interesting stand off. Have to hope the oversight committees have the same
level of constitutional values you do, but even if they don't you will never
know so the stand off continues.

I've always thought it would be interesting to see what would happen
if the US sent troops to, say, Honduras to protect them from
Guatemala and to Nicaragua to protect them from Costa Rica, and then
Honduras and Nicaragua decided to declare war on each other.

Sufis are a horrendously oppressed branch of Islam. Which is a shame as it
certainly is the most entertaining to watch. (And historically provided the
backbone of Islamic armies - no longer the case)

But I am sure there are people in this thread who think Sufis are part of
the great Islamic quest for world domination....
